2027 Land Rover Range Rover Electric First Edition: Solon Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2027 Range Rover Electric First Edition
The First Edition is the launch trim made only as an electric: $176,700 MSRP in the standard wheelbase and $181,400 in the long wheelbase, each before the $2,450 destination charge ($179,150 and $183,850 with it). It starts from everything on the Autobiography and adds a choice of Belgravia Green, Santorini Black, or Varesine Blue paint, a Light Cloud interior in Ultrafabrics and Kvadrat wool blends, a Tailgate Event Suite with leather cushions, illuminated First Edition treadplates, and an additional AC charge port. The drivetrain is the usual 542 horsepower, 627 lb-ft, up-to-333-mile package.
Why this one only exists as an electric
Most Range Rover trims are rungs on a ladder you can climb with any engine. The First Edition isn't. Land Rover created it specifically to mark the arrival of the first all-electric Range Rover, which is why you won't find a gas or plug-in version of it on the configurator. Think of it as a commemorative Autobiography: same mechanical heart, same equipment foundation, but dressed in colors and materials that won't appear on the regular trims. That makes it the one to look at if you want your Range Rover to be visibly from the first model year of something new.
The colors and the cabin
Three paint colors define the edition. Belgravia Green is the deep, classic one, Santorini Black is the sleek one, and Varesine Blue is the one that turns heads in a parking lot full of silver and white SUVs. The interior is where Land Rover did something unusual, introducing a Light Cloud finish in Ultrafabrics and Kvadrat, a wool blend from the Danish textile maker, instead of the leather most Range Rover buyers expect. It's a lighter, softer-looking cabin that Land Rover describes as bright and soothing, and the Tailgate Event Suite adds leather cushions for the rear of the cargo area, so a parked Range Rover turns into a place to sit at the trailhead or the tailgate before a Browns game.
Two charge ports, one plug-in routine
The First Edition adds an additional AC charge port, which gives you the flexibility to plug in on either side of the vehicle. It sounds minor until you've backed into a garage stall where the cord just doesn't reach, and then it becomes the feature you were glad you ordered. Everything else about charging is the same as every other trim: a native NACS port, DC fast charging up to 350 kW for a 10 to 80 percent charge in about 22 minutes, and up to 125 miles of range added in ten minutes at the fastest chargers.
What a launch-day buyer remembers
Matt P. drove nearly eight hours to buy a Range Rover from Land Rover Solon and wrote about what happened when he arrived: "From the very moment We contacted them about a Range Rover we were interested they surpassed every expectation. We live south of Knoxville, TN (nearly 8 hrs away) and we arrived they had the vehicle staged, roped off and on display! Moreover, all paperwork was ready we merely signed and drove away in our new car." That review dates from 2020, and it's a good picture of how a special-order or launch-edition vehicle is best handled: prepared ahead, presented properly, paperwork done.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the First Edition cost?
The standard-wheelbase First Edition starts at $176,700 MSRP and the long-wheelbase at $181,400, both before the $2,450 destination charge. With destination those figures become $179,150 and $183,850. Since it's the only electric-only trim, it's also the one trim whose electric price shows up directly on Land Rover's models page.
Can I get the First Edition in other colors?
Land Rover names three colors for the First Edition: Belgravia Green, Santorini Black, and Varesine Blue. If you'd rather have a color of your own choosing, the Range Rover Bespoke commissioning service offers an extended range of paints and finishes, though that's a different route than the First Edition.
Is the First Edition faster than the SE?
No. Every electric Range Rover trim uses the same twin-motor powertrain with 542 horsepower and 627 lb-ft, and the 0-60 time of as little as 4.3 seconds applies across the lineup. The First Edition's price covers equipment, colors, and finish rather than extra performance.
